Why Y.E.S. is here to help...

Emmet was a 17 year old boy in his last year of high school when his father took off, leaving him with the clothes on his back and a car. For months Emmet struggled to find places to stay and shower, eating mostly at school and going without food in the evening. With the lack of employment options in the area and his desire to complete high school in his hometown Emmet worked tirelessly to finish school while surviving during the toughest part of the winter. Emmet found Y.E.S. when he was about to drop out due to falling so far behind on his school work. His only pair of pants were filthy and he was desperate to sleep in a bed and eat a hot meal. We matched him with a family locally with two teen sons who quickly became like family to Emmet. With the support of his case manager and host family, Emmet graduated from high school and was reunited with his Uncle. He is now working with his Uncle out of state and flourishing. He checks back in with his host mom often and is doing really well. We are so proud of Emmet and his hard work and for other kids like Emmet who just need a chance to succeed and a warm bed to sleep in.
